building a powerful database: My Pipe Is Clogged and I'm Not Calling a Plumber - 03/21/11 04:36 AM
It required months, no make that years, to fill my pipe, and my team and I will continue to do our best to keep it filled to capacity.  We do not want to see daylight at the opposite end when we check our lead pipeline.  Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Plumber, we are quite pleased with a steady trickle flowing out the end and into our escrow pool.
 
It takes a dash of Merlin the Magician, a sprinkle of the Pied Piper and superior service to attract prospective buyers and seller to your pipeline when there are so many pipelines begging to be filled.  Let's … (8 comments)

Three years ago I moved into a new office where space allowed me to bring all my files together for the first time in fifteen years.  I kept the shredder busy for days, but I also saved a few files from its teeth:

building a powerful database: Turn Consumers, Customers and Clients Into Bees - 09/18/10 03:20 PM
I always chased butterflies when I was a kid; even with a net they were hard to catch.  They flitted from place to place with fickle freedom and landed with random selection.  Recently on a walk I noticed one especially fragrant plant was abuzz with bees.  The bees were attracted to what the plant offered.  Other flowers were in bloom and were attracting some bee attention, but not nearly as many visits as the fragrant bush.  It obviously provided a superior nectar causing bees to ignore most of the other flowers.  A little light bulb went on in my head:  I want my real estate … (8 comments)
